HT29 cells in the wells were fixed in 2% glutaraldehyde (0.1 M Millonig buffer, pH 7.4) for 60 min. After washing with both 0.1 M of phosphate buffer (3 times for 5 min) and 0.1 M pH 7.2 sodium cacodylate buffer (3 times for 5 min), the samples were post-fixed with 1% osmium tetroxide in 0.1 M sodium-cacodylate buffer for 60 min at 4°C in the dark. After washing 3 times for 5 min with sodium-cacodylate buffer (pH 7.4), the cells were pelleted by centrifugation and embedded in 10% gelatin in phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). After dehydration in a graded series of alcohol, the samples were embedded into Poly/Bed epoxy resin. Ultrathin sections (70–80 nm) were contrast stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate, respectively. Ultrastructural analyses were performed by using a JEM-1200EXII Transmission Electron Microscope (JEOL, Akishima, Tokyo, Japan).
The average number of autophagic vacuoles was counted in five HT29 cells per sample (mean ± SD/cell).

Gametocytes 12 days after induction from the WT 3D7 and Δpfdozi lines were purified by centrifugation on a 35% and 50% Percoll step gradient. The cells were washed with the RPMI-1640 medium and fixed by resuspension in 2.5% glutaraldehyde in 0.1 M cacodylate buffer (pH 7.2) containing 2 mM CaCl2. Cells were then immediately centrifuged at 1700 g for 10 min to collect the pellet. Fresh fixative was added to resuspend the pellet and incubated at room temperature for at least 1 h. Then, they were fixed in 2% osmium tetroxide for 1.5 h and en bloc stained in 2% aqueous uranyl acetate for 1 h. The cells were embedded in Eponite 12 (Ted Pella, CA). Ultrathin sections were prepared, contrasted with uranyl acetate and lead citrate, and examined with a JEOL JEM1200 EXII transmission electron microscope (Peabody, MA).

EV pellets, isolated as described above, were resuspended in 4% electron microscopy grade paraformaldehyde in sodium phosphate buffer (Electron Microscopy Sciences, Hatfield, PA). 10 μL of the EVs were placed on Formvar-carbon coated electron microscopy grids (Electron Microscopy Sciences, Hatfield, PA) for 20 minutes, after which excess solution was wicked off with a filter paper. Grids were negatively stained with a uranyl-oxalate solution consisting of a 1:1 solution of 4% uranyl acetate and 0.15M oxalic acid, adjusted to pH 7 with ammonium hydroxide (all reagents from Electron Microscopy Sciences, Hatfield, MA) for 5 minutes. Excess stain was removed using a filter paper and allowed to dry. Grids were examined with a JEOL JEM-1200 EXII transmission electron microscope (Tokyo, Japan).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
